I bought my signed and numbered one on the 8th in the afternoon. They must have released a few each day for the real supporters.

I just bought two signed and one unsigned within past hour. This poster may very well be worth more historically than the campaign posters because it is THE poster commemorating the inauguration of our nation’s first black president. The masses of people in the foreground is way cool. The more you look at this poster, the more you notice. It is a great poster.

THIS IS NOT SOLD OUT – I just purchased a signed and numbered copy of the poster. The first three times it came up as sold out.

I called again to make sure… this time a young man – who sounded like was distracted – said I could order the unsigned version because they had another 8,500 comming in tomorrow. Wow… signed version gone, gone, gone, unsigned still available.

I bet if I call again I might get more answers but I will stop there.

I just called the Inagural store and they told me more would be available tomorrow… 1/8/09. She didn’t sound very enthusiastic… but what does that matter really… taking calls all day is kinda boring. Maybe she just told me that to get me off the phone…? Worth checking though.

Shepard Fairey has officially jumped the shark IMHO. His art no longer carries the same appeal as it did in 2000. It appears that these prints are just a commodity.

well, artistsforobama series with /5000 runs would come out to like 1 print for every 75,000 US people. And in this case, 1 signed print for every 350,000 people, 1 unsigned per every 35,000 (very approx numbers.) Unfortunately, only like 5000 people out there give a damn about Obama prints, or even know about them, let alone can afford em. So, alls well that ends well.
PS, Im one of the maniacs buying these pieces of paper.

This might seem like a rip off, or a huge run, or overpriced… but this isn’t our little low brow scene.
